Economics Hdi Questions
The HDI reflects environmental sustainability by including an indicator called the "Environmental Performance Index" (EPI) as one of its components. The EPI measures a country's performance in environmental areas such as air quality, water and sanitation, biodiversity, and climate change. By incorporating the EPI into the HDI, it acknowledges the importance of environmental sustainability in human development. This means that a country's overall HDI score is influenced not only by economic and social factors but also by its environmental performance, promoting the idea that sustainable development is crucial for long-term human well-being.
